Your New Twin Sized Bed

[hebsey1]

Love to run to this ... even though I am years beyond this kind of break up...yes it's sad but it's kind of dear too...

[mvdiablo]

My girlfriend just broke up with me, we we're together for 3 1/2 years. This song is great for me except I have an "old" twin size bed...not new. I wish things would just get better she is all I think about...

[killerkowalski96]

such an awesome song, so sad though.

[govkat]

Thank you Death cab for cutie

[EmmaEpicWillEatYou]

I'm glad that he feels this way. He took me for granted and now he's alone! HAHA!!!

[cycojay13]

I have a full bed but I prefer to sleep on the couch.And Im ok with it.

[KILROYisKICKING]

am i the only one who thinks this song is genius or.....

[raegiorem]

The vocalist's wife is Zooey Deschanell right? such a lucky guy. xD

[MsASW13]

@raegiorem not anymore....

[SuperBlueRat]

go twin bed, getting a song written after it!

[Mila897]

These songs are all so real. They're for everyone

[DestroyEvolveCreate]

Best Valentines Day song for the single people out there.

[Sooner0724]

Wow U I just discovered these guys today and I am amazed. Thank god for Last Fm recommendations, lol.

[Matrocidel]

favorite alt band YEA

[aleio16]

Well my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me, and I just upgraded from a twin sized bed to a queen.

[njskiinglegend]

@aleio16 It's a huge upgrade, you feel like you are swimming in it. Such a good feeling. The ladies love big beds too.

[damanadahour]

i was watching orange county the movie and i thought there was a song by death cab and it wasn't, but its similar. check it out if you like this song. i love them both! its called "under the tracks" by creeper lagoon. . .

[riceandbeans643]

marissa, i still love you

[aleio16]

@riceandbeans643 I know how you feel. For me it's Cynthia.

[fishrfine]

THIS = MY LIFE. (The person they're talking about) DX

[justpeachykeen13]

this band means everything to me, they've gotten me through such hard times. they saved my life.

[Archer785]

@justpeachykeen13 That's a fairly tentative grasp you've got on life then.

[justpeachykeen13]

@Archer785 alright, if you think that then fine, but who are you to judge me?

[Archer785]

@justpeachykeen13 someone with a masters in Clinical Psych.

[justpeachykeen13]

@Archer785 dude come on, just chill and listen to the awesome song

[Coolercare79]

this band is my life. i swear to god it reads my soul

[bc200036]

How does this song not have more views? Crazy. Just discovered this band today and am blown away. Can't wait to hear more good tunes.

[soundschrizel]

death cab for cutie is one of the most underestimated bands ever. oh my god. i love this band. like for real.

[TheMoek1]

all i know is when this albulm came out, i hated my huge bed. made me sick that the other side was constantly vacant.... o well : /

[zanepx90]

my teacher sang this in class 2day like with guitar and everything

[SenorDavid91]

i just broke with mine of four years. i feel you on this one : (

[ciokotoff]

There's nothing to tell .... Just listen.

[musicdood97]

Today, I realized sad can be beautiful.

[ridiculosaur]

Listened to this a hundred times tonight...

[Arrowhead729]

I love the way how the gutair and the bass go so well together, it's so beautiful!!

[DX1771]

@Arrowhead729 That's usually how music works.

[genjadore]

this version sounds different

[summerpeace9]

I love the guitar in this song!:)

[IIVSEVENVII]

this song is amazing. The melody is upbeat, while the lyrics are sad and downcast. I don't know how anybody else other than ben could possibly form a song like this.

[MikelDzky]

so straight forward but in a deep way love it

[MHLuttekes]

must be my favourite Narrow Stairs song, both the lyrics and music are great and fit each other nicely, what a job well done!

[bunnibender1125]

Story of my life.

[Arrowhead729]

@bunnibender1125 Awww!

[ridiculosaur]

@bunnibender1125 yep, me too.

[calpitoc]

Quite possibly one of saddest songs I've ever heard.

[ceeheartsu]

@calpitoc Try Little Motel by Modest Mouse.

[gabriellebella]

"...and I hope you have more luck with this than me..." <3

[indiebird12]

The song is really upbeat, and if you dont listen to the lyrics they pass you by, but when you listen it gives me sort of a sadness. ben has true writing talent

[kdettwirler]

if i could i would marry ben gibbard. like seriously. talking to him would be like idk reading a book of wisdom and amazingness.

[FarmerFred123]

depresssing.....

[wooptyfriggindoo]

I love how he sings "terrified".

:)

[spreadyalikecheese]

narrow stairs remains one of my favorite albums of all time.

[xxfreakyasian10xx]

...Like we're in some kind of hurry to say goodbye...

Love that line

[theelasthero]

one of my favortie songs ever..

[sunshinekoala]

goosebumps...

[nabeelah123]

I love the way he says 'hurry' in this song. So much.

[cavmusicnyc]

great song......

[Whatshisnut]

Today was the first time I ever heard this song...I broke up with my girlfriend of almost half a year today...I HATE PERFECT TIMING!

[grace1factor]

@Whatshisnut :( so sorry.....my boyfriend gave me this song right before he broke up with me.

[BlahBlahBlahBoise]

@Whatshisnut

almost half a year?....are you in middle school or something?

[Arrowhead729]

@Whatshisnut Aww! Are you OK?

[princessnekonivardi]

@Whatshisnut well that sucks... for her. 

[jpjustpunk]

@Whatshisnut my girlfriend is currently sleeping at my best friend house. saw this bullshit comming

[whiteboyrapping]

@Whatshisnut no you didnt...

[jerdoe]

what a lyricist

[Sosoukesagara81]

this song is amazing and so relaxing

[cutiencurls143]

It's actually about a man. Me being a girl I assumed it was about a girl, too. He says it was the second saddest thing he has ever seen. There was a man getting rid of his queen sized mattress outside of his apartment and he was basically accepting his "singleness" as something that was not ever going to go away

[dianalure]

how did you find out that it was about a man?

[theelasthero]

theres no reference to either a man or woman.. i think he talks about both males and females being single in general.. lol

[mavsguru41]

@cutiencurls143 damn that's deep

[duderebeccaodomgirl]

i think this songs really about her giving up on findind love so she gets rid of it in the song he says u use to think some one would come along and the box screen that stays new whats the piont of holding on to what never gets used...any way best song

[twilight0sylum0forme]

this song is just.... yummy. it has a great beat and great lyrics. i think this tops my fav dcfc songs. thanks for hooking us up pandora(genuis)

[raininginmycranium]

@twilight0sylum0forme pandora is possibly the greatest music introducer.

[baa5000]

i cant stop singing this in my head!

[ALICEtheMONSTER]

Favorite DCfC song for the moment<3

[kookoobananas808]

i love this song!

[KennKaniggy]

i want to learn to play this on guitar. it would make me happy

[KennKaniggy]

i love this song, but its really sad =[

[JDEads11]

Thank you Crazycrackinchick! :)

[supersinc800]

what does this song mean? can somebody explain it?

[stareaholethrewu]

its about a person whos given up looking for a true love and are (more or less)torturing themselves mentally. i think.

[jollydude5]

it means whatever u wnat it to mean

[Roswell591]

It's about someone whose given up on love, they are getting rid of their queen sized bed and replacing it with a twin sized. They think they'll be single forever, so they only need a bed for 1.

[kookoobananas808]

its basically about a girl who had problems with her past lover/boyfriend who obviously had a lot of problems in their previous queen sized bed.

so now, to get rid of the bad memories.. shes getting a smaller bed to declare her independence

i can relate

[smokerl777]

call me

[EmilyAnnGreenlees]

One of my favourites from the album:)

[Tmancubs33]

best guitar riff evah

[luvaddictx3]

this song makes me happy :]

[ZBLONDIE1313]

this song is so incredible it makes me smile and sway from side to side

the beat it amazing and lyrically it makes a perfect song

[superduperblah23]

uhm, this song is amazing.

someone FINALLY put it up. lol.

i was looking for it, foreverrrrrrrrrr

[popshopgirly]

Another song proving that this album is amazing

[rainbowchickennugget]

i love this song(:

[kirbypuff891]

This song has such an interesting sound.

[TheMinority69]

You used to think that someone would come along

And lay beside you in a space that they belong

But the other side of the mattress and box springs stayed like new

What's the point of holding on to what never gets used?

Other than a sick desire for self-abuse

[TheMinority69]

amazing song

ben gibbard is an amazing lyricist and singer
